Bio:
I currently live in Southern NH. I try and get in as many days skiing as possible without getting fired. During the off-season, I spend the majority of my time outside; this includes running, hiking, camping, and boating.

Hestra Army Leather Gore-Tex XCR Glove
May 8, 2009
I would say that they will certainly keep your hands warm for cold weather riding. They'll probably work well to prevent hand fatigue and certainly shouldn't inhibit your ability to use your controls on the bike.
As far as protection goes, I've been somewhat disappointed in the quality of leather. I used mine skiing about 10 days this winter, and both palms have small holes and a couple gashes that I really didn't expect for the little use that they got. I'm just saying this because I wouldn't expect the leather to hold up in the event of a crash (granted it will be better then many synthetics).

Mountain Hardwear Vinson Jacket - Men's

I have the Smith Hustle in an XL (I have a big dome) and the hood fits over that. The Hustle is a big helmet to begin with so unless your melon is the size of the goodyear blimp you should be good.
